Connectors Highlight Merchandising, App Development and Custom SVG Image Creation
The delivery of 35 Power Automate connectors to kick off 2022 left my head swimming with possibilities and I can’t wait to find out how you use them! The final three in our recent coverage of these new connectors span several categories: commerce merchandising, app development and images. Let’s look!
If you are using this e-commerce system, you might consider the Dynamics 365 Commerce Merchandising connector to search and browse product-related information like the category, channel, and catalog information with its actions. It connects to the Cloud Scale Unit (CSU), which is a fancy way of saying “your e-commerce system’s public-facing API that presents data to external users.”
Actions here include:
- Get catalogs, categories or channels.
- Get the dimension values with inventory availability for a product.
- Get the environment configuration.
- Get image locations, attributes of, inventory in stores, or recommendations of a product.
- Get product variant search by dimensions.
- Product search by IDs, or by keyword and category.
- Perform a health check of the retail server.
You might possibly find that this connector is a little more useful when paired alongside the Dynamics 365 Commerce Ratings and Reviews connector which we covered previously when it became available.

With its two actions, the Shields.io connector works with the Shields.io service to create custom SVG images or to retrieve a pre-configured image that you can embed into any HTML area of other actions. This connector too, is independently published.
